POWDER DAY!!!! (well not really)
Just like this quick storm, this is going to be a quick post. It wasn't spectacular but considering what we have been skiing on it was just fine! We picked up a good 4 inches of quality base builder. The coverage is still a little thin but it's a step in the right direction at least! More later, but for now I have to trek it back to the flats. Keep a lookout for another ski review.....Blizzard Bonafide=FLIPPIN SWEET!!!!!!!

Head Peak 84 ski review
Thanks to the good people at Base Camp Outfitters, I got out on the Head Peak 84 in a 184cm length for the past couple days. The conditions were anywhere from hard pack(ice) to soft crud(slush). This ski handled it all quite well. It was unbelievably stable at eye watering speed and held on tight during long hard turns on hardpack. In soft wet snow this ski blew through the crud without issue. In bumps it was a little slow edge to edge but that has a lot to do with the length I was skiing. This is a very predictable, unbelievably damp ski that loves to go fast! If you push on it, it doesn’t push back too hard. Personally that isn’t my style but I don’t want to take away from this great ski. If you like to ski in control on a ski that won’t punish you for any mistakes or flaws in your technique this is the ski for you!!!Done beng lazy with this thing
So I have been slacking for over a year with this blog. But I realize now that I really don't have much else to do after skiing so I will be updating more frequently
